Moscow, Russia
Russian security chiefs including Nikolai sat down to consider the threat posed by the breach in the Pacific Ocean. "Although we consider ourselves a Pacific nation, in point of fact, the only populated area is Vladivostok. We can easily evacuate the city and move the Pacific fleet," Ivan pointed out.
"If we attack the monsters and win, it will mean glory for Mother Russia!" Dmitri said.
"Dimitri, you're drunk. We always get blamed for shit, never praise," Boris rolled his eyes.
"I don't think it is necessary for us to be involved. These monsters could destroy the cities and infrastructure of Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, and the United States. These nations are all competitors. It pisses me off that Korea's economy is stronger than ours," Ivan grumbled.
"Which Korea?" Nikolai antagonized.
"Don't be a smart-ass," Ivan said displeased.
"This all assumes that this breach doesn't appear in other oceans...like the Arctic Ocean," Dimitri warned.
"We have nukes planted all around there in case anyone tries to fuck with us," Ivan reminded him.
"Our asset in the United States will be expected to help out," Nikolai pointed out.
"Order her to stay out of it," Ivan said simply.
"There is also the possibility that the other Supergirl will intervene. It will be awkward if the good Supergirl does nothing while the bad Supergirl does," Nikolai said.
"If the other Supergirl shows up, have our Supergirl knock her out of commission," Ivan ordered.
"There is the minor consideration that millions of people and trillions of damage could be caused by these monsters," Nikolai said.
"And we will weep for them...in the press," Ivan said coldly. "It's not our job to recommend to the president the moral thing to do. We recommend what it is in the best interests of the nation. If the president wants moral guidance, he can get it from a priest," Ivan said ending the meeting.
Washington DC, USA
The US Pacific carrier fleets sent off fighters left-and-right to intercept Kaiju monsters as they sprung from the breach. Even submarines were firing off torpedoes as the creatures tried to escape by going deep underwater.
Kara entered the war-room as Supergirl and met with President Trump, the Joint Chiefs, Defense Secretary, Secretary of State, and National Security adviser at the White House. "She's only a nominee. Why is she here?" a general pointed out.
"I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal," Kara smiled at him.
"She stays," Trump said thoroughly whipped.
"We've lost contact with one of our submarines. Otherwise, everything is going smoothly," the Defense secretary told everyone.
"We should move the fleet closer to the breach to make sure nothing escapes," Kara advised.
"Our ships would be in mortal danger," an admiral objected.
"Do it," Trump said in a subdued tone.
"Move all carrier fleets in the Pacific towards the breach. Let's show the world what we can do," Kara said.
"Sure," Trump said covering his face.
Manila, Philippines
Kaiju monster, designated Hundun, reached the east coast of the Philippines during a tropical storm and rampaged towards Manila. The Philippine military immediately got into position and the capital began evacuations. A few T-50 fighters approached the Kaiju and fired off their missiles with little effect. A few tanks and several artillery fired from a distance.
Mara, as Supergirl, arrived on the scene and fired at the Kaiju's eyes burning them out. The Kaiju thrashed about in pain. Mara then fired off a bomb that blasted a hole through the beast. The beast screeched and fell to the ground dead. The T-50 fighters circled around and prepared to engage her.
"It's her. Proceed with caution," the lead pilot said to the others.
The T-50 fighters fired a few missiles at her. Mara allowed them to hit her without effect. A red beam hit Mara and blasted her into the ground creating a crater in the dense forest. Filipinos fled the scene as Kara landed. Mara got back up disoriented from the hit.
Kara sped towards Mara and gave her a quick succession of blows to the torso and face. Mara tried to block her strong punches and powered up to Super Insane god. Kara kept it up until Mara hit a tree and fell to the ground hurt. "I was just trying to help," Mara grimaced as she powered down.
"I know," Kara said coldly and then knocked her out.
Sydney, Australia
A Kaiju attacked Sydney and met heavy resistance from F-35 and F-18 fighters along with destroyers on the coast. Missiles went flying from all directions hitting the monster from various spots before it could get far into the city. The Kaiju then fell dead in the city.
Meanwhile, Kara looked over Mara on a Pacific Island. Mara woke with a start and tensed up in pain. Her arms were chained around a tree. A Kryptonite necklace was placed around her neck. "Not enough to kill you, but you won't be going anywhere," Kara said to her. "Courtesy of a good friend of mine."
"Why?" Mara asked weakly.
"It's complicated," Kara said unsure herself.
"Saving lives is never complicated," Mara glared at her.
"Is it? Would you save Nazis? I don't think so," Kara mocked.
"The only Nazi here is you," Mara said scornfully.
"You killed your mother, you killed thousands of people, and you're allied with the demonic spirit that gave you the power to do it. I'm Kara Zor-El, back from the dead. That's the narrative," Kara said to her.
"You're not my mother," Mara said defiantly.
"Well...no shit," Kara smiled condescendingly. "But really, what is a mother anyway? Your mother created you in a pod rather than carry and bear you. She shuffled you around nannies, so she wouldn't have to deal with you. She accelerated your age because she didn't want to deal with raising you properly. As a result, you're an adult with the life experience of a child," Kara pointed out.
Mara simply stared at her. "Your diary was a good read," Kara smirked.
"That's private," Mara muttered.
"I'm not the same as your mother. I put king and country over everyone...including you. Don't make me kill you," Kara said to her.
"You talk like you know everything, but you've lived for less than a year. Your lack of life experience makes it easy for others to manipulate you. You only sided with the Russians, because they got to you first," Mara pointed out.
Kara picked up a stick and balanced it in her hand. "Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. That is my goal," Kara said to her.
"You will allow millions to die just so that Russia looks good. What kind of morality is that? You make a mockery out of that cross necklace you wear," Mara pointed out.
Kara turned away from Mara seriously troubled. She took out her Orthodox cross necklace and contemplated what she was doing. "You're not a complete clone. A part of my mother still resides in you. That's why you have her powers and Kara Danvers would never let innocents die for political gain," Mara said.
"That name no longer has any meaning for me now," Kara shot back.
"It is the name of your true self, you have only forgotten," Mara insisted.
"I am not her," Kara said, certain. "Your mother was abandoned, rejected, and cast out. She never recovered from that. She was taught to never have emotions by her society. All her joy and happiness was taken from her. When she came to Earth, she was never able to fill that hole. Your mother sought death but could never find it. Until...you," Kara said to Mara.
"You didn't kill your mother. You freed her from her pain," Kara told her.
Mara shed tears and looked away. "I am so grateful I didn't live her life. I have all her powers, maybe even some of her personality, but I feel truly blessed and happy," Kara said smiling as she looked up at the sun.
"Then my mother is truly dead," Mara said sadly.
Kara flicked her finger at Mara's forehead knocking her out. She then flew off the island.
Metropolis, USA
Kara landed in the DEO. "Where the hell have you been? There have been attacks all across the Pacific," Alex raged.
Kara eyed the map and noticed Vladivostok had yet to be hit. "And?" Kara asked.
"The US carrier fleets were thrashed by a Kaiju," Alex said showing satellite imagery for the ruined American fleet. "We should send more ships there," Kara said.
"That's suicide," Alex argued.
"If the fleet is not there, the Kaiju will make their way to the coasts. We can't let one escape the blockade," Kara argued.
"Is there some reason you can't get involved? Do the Kaiju have Kryptonite for breath?" Alex asked incredulously.
Kara pulled on her hair in annoyance. "I can't always be doing your job for you. Stop being so fucking pathetic!" Kara shouted and stormed out.
Hong Kong
At night, The Chinese navy came out to meet a Kaiju as it approached Hong Kong. The Liaoning, the Chinese navy's lone aircraft carrier sent two dozen J-15 fighters into the air, and missiles were fired into the air from the mainland and destroyers. In solidarity, Taiwan also fired their missiles at the beast. The Kaiju, known as Otachi, screeched from being hit and went underwater.
There was a brief calm and then Otachi swung its tail on the deck of the Liaoning ruining the deck and nearly throwing the ship over. Otachi continued to slam the ship with his shoulder and head. Chinese jets hesitated to fire on it fearing they would hit the carrier. The Liaoning's anti-aircraft guns and cannons fired continuously at the Kaiju until it dislodged.
Otachi spat acid on the deck of the Liaoning devastating the ship. Chinese frigates and destroyers fired non-stop at Otachi forcing it to flee into the water. The Chinese ships advanced on the Otachi's last location and launched depth charges into the water.
Another Kaiju leaped out of the water behind the Chinese fleet outflanking them. The second Kaiju, known as Leatherneck, advanced on the Chinese fleet. The two Kaiju moved to sandwich the Chinese fleet between them. Leatherneck was then suddenly hit by Vietnamese Su-30 fighters. Leatherneck roared at the annoying fighters and became distracted.
Metropolis, DEO
Kara watched the DEO screen impatiently as she saw video footage of the battle. "The Kaiju have broken through the fleet and are now approaching the city," Brainiac 5 reported.
"For God's sake, do something!" Alex shouted at Kara.
"They're communists," Kara pointed out.
"This is Hong Kong. It's the most capitalist city in the world. The fuck you talking about?" Alex pointed out.
"There are approximately 7.5 million people in that city. The city hasn't been completely evacuated," Brainiac 5 reported.
"Fuck," Kara said under her breath.
"I get that you want us to be self-reliant but allowing seven million people to die is bullshit and you know it," Alex raged.
"You know what? I've assessed the situation and I'm leaving," Kara said and flew off. Kara flew up to the helipad on top of the skyscraper and called Alina.
"Any updates," Kara asked Alina.
"The last order stands: Do not engage," Alina told her.
"Call Nikolai again. Does he see what's happening over there?" Kara asked her.
"I'll give him a call," Alina said hanging up.
The two Kaiju got closer to Hong Kong even as hovering Chinese helicopters fired everything they had at them. Squadrons of Japanese fighters approached Hong Kong in a gesture of support.
Moscow, PATRIOT
"We're detecting fifty Japanese F-15 fighters headed towards Hong Kong," an analyst said to Nikolai.
"We cannot afford Japan and China to be working together like this," Nikolai grumbled. His cell phone rang. "What is it?" he asked Alina.
"Kara is asking if the order has changed," Alina said.
Nikolai stared at the screen as he saw the Japanese fighters approaching. "Damn it. Deploy her. Tell her, she has five minutes."
Metropolis, USA
Kara leaped off the DEO skyscraper and quickly flew towards Hong Kong. Before the Japanese fighters could arrive, Kara punched Leatherneck hard to the face as it knuckled its way across the docks. Leatherneck smashed into a crane as it fell from the force of the punch. Leatherneck quickly recovered and roared at Kara in rage. Kara and Leatherneck met at the fist. The bones in Leatherneck's right arm shattered instantly and muscles were ripped off the bone. Kara then blasted Leatherneck with heat vision slicing through its gut. The Kaiju's gut exploded as it hit showering the dock with bright blue blood. Leatherneck then fell to the ground in a heap. Kara fired heat vision at the body burning it completely to make sure.
A large tail then swatted Kara into the city. She tumbled a bit on the streets sending parked cars flying. Kara quickly got up and saw that Otachi was gone. Kara scanned the city with her X-ray vision and saw where it was hiding in the city. Otachi cautiously wandered around the streets when Kara burst from the pavement and upper-cut the beast into the air. Otachi whipped its tail at her as it started coming back down. Kara blew frost breath on its tail and then shattered it. Kara then punched Otachi farther into the air. Otachi erupted wings from its back and decided to take off.
Kara sped towards Otachi and fired heat beams slicing its gut open. The creature roared in pain and then fell back into the ocean creating a massive wave.
Moscow, Russia
Nikolai was called in after the Supergirl incident in Hong Kong. "Your orders were to keep Supergirl from intervening," Ivan said angrily.
"The Japanese changed the equation, Sir. If the Japanese had been allowed to assist the Chinese, the two could become allies. That goes against our strategy," Nikolai argued.
"That is not your call to make!" Ivan raged.
"You were busy fucking your mistress and not answering your damn phone!" Nikolai shouted back.
The two men glared at each other. "Let's start over, shall we," Ivan said getting out a bottle of vodka and pouring them both a glass.
"We have a plan to end this breach. I don't think these creatures are attacking cities and ships of their own accord. I think they're being directed to by whatever is beyond that breach. I have volunteered a submarine packed with nuclear warheads to go to the breach and blow up whatever the fuck is on the other side," Ivan said.
"An American submarine already tried that," Nikolai objected. "It was incinerated by the breach."
"The Kaiju are able to go through the breach, no problem. So, we will put the submarine inside one of those Kaiju corpses."
"Good plan except for the part where a Kaiju comes out of breach just as you try to enter," Nikolai scoffed.
"That's where the asset comes in. This time, no one will know she was involved. Mother Russia will have solved the crisis on her own without assistance from the American Supergirl," Ivan sneered.
"I'll direct our asset to make sure the Americans do not get in our way," Nikolai agreed. The two drank their glasses and poured another.
Vladivostok, Russia
The next morning, Kara and Alina were on the dock in civilian clothes as Kaiju flesh was placed on the submarine. Alina used her power to control the water inside the pieces of flesh and place them on the submarine. Workers then tied the pieces together so the whole ship was covered.
"Disgusting," Alina remarked.
"Why not move the entire corpse all at once?" Kara asked.
"That is too much for me. Unlike you, I have limits," Alina said.
"You know how the Allies waited until mid-1944 to invade France?" Kara asked conversationally.
"You trying to piss me off?" Alina asked annoyed.
"We're doing the same thing, aren't we? I mean, we're letting our rivals get their asses kicked, so we can get ahead," Kara mused.
"Payback is a bitch," Alina agreed. "Unlike these fucks, I lived through World War II," Alina pointed to the Russian sailors.
"My...the other Supergirl, she shamed me. It made me feel bad," Kara admitted.
"You just need a good drink," Alina suggested.
"The original Supergirl believed she could do whatever she wanted because she believed she was once saved always saved. I don't even know if she truly believed it or used it as an excuse. I don't want to be like that," Kara said.
"You didn't kill those people. The Kaiju did," Alina reminded her.
"I don't want to be an Eisenhower. I want to be a Zhukov. I want to kick ass," Kara said seriously.
"You'll get your chance soon," Alina told her.
Pacific Ocean
The US fleet backed off from the breach via President Trump's direction. A Russian sub covered in Kaiju flesh approached the breach with two escorting submarines. Kara dropped into the water and quickly reached the breach. A Kaiju monster, known as Slattern, emerged from the breach and stared Kara down.
Kara went into a fighting stance and fired heat vision at it. Slattern shielded itself with one of its tentacles. The beam sliced off the tentacle. Slattern whirled his tentacles and swat Kara with one of them sending her into a rock formation. Slattern aggressively went after Kara smacking her around the ocean floor with its powerful arms. Kara fired on Slattern slicing holes into its torso.
Meanwhile, the Russian subs were under attack by Raiju and Scunner, slightly smaller Kaiju. The Russian subs fired torpedoes at them giving the Kaiju minor damage. The two Kaiju attacked the escorting submarines breaching their hulls and quickly disabling them.
Slattern called to the two other Kaiju to join forces. They quickly arrived on the scene. The three then charged Kara together. Kara tensed up as she glowed. Kara went Prime and then ignited a nuclear-sized explosion that instantly incinerated Raiju and Scunner. The explosion created tsunami waves and tossed about the remaining Russian sub.
Kara powered down and noticed Slattern was still alive, albeit a bloody mess. "You're one tough bastard," Kara complimented. Kara leaped up and punched Slattern hard to the head. The two tumbled down to the breach. Slattern attempted to block the entrance into the breach with his body. Kara furiously punched at Slattern puncturing his body. The two struggled in the breach as the Russian sub approached. Kara sliced across Slattern's neck finally beheading the creature. She then kicked the headless body out of the breach where it settled on the ocean floor.
The Russian submarine then descended into the breach. "Godspeed," Kara said to them as they entered the breach. Instead of being incinerated, they fell through the breach. The Russian submarine fell into the domain of an alien world that had created and directed Kaiju to attack Earth. The Russian sailors braced themselves as they felt themselves falling.
"Poshel na khuy," the captain smiled as he hit the detonator.
The submarine was incinerated as two dozen nuclear warheads went off all at once. The alien city was completely annihilated in the explosion.
Kara waited a few moments and then the breach closed up. Kara then went back to the two fallen submarines and help them rise back to the surface a distance away.
The news media showered praise on the Russian navy for their heroic sacrifice in closing the breach. No one reported Supergirl's involvement. President Putin did a number of interviews praising the men that had died and assured their families of his support.
Kara flew over to the island she had left Mara at. The tree had been chopped down and Mara was gone. Kara looked around for the Kryptonite necklace but wasn't able to find it. On the island were rocks in the shape of a cross but as an Orthodox cross. Kara turned away ashamed and flew off.
